Tips & Advice

How can drivers find the cheapest gas prices?

Driver can find the cheapest gas prices by using an app to search for the lowest prices in their area. Some apps such as Gas Guru take note of your location, and provide a list of gas stations nearby, along with the cost of gas currently being sold at each station.

Is it possible to improve a vehicle's fuel efficiency?

There are things you can do to slightly improve the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Make sure your car's tires are properly inflated, and treat your engine to regular tune-ups. Check your engine's air filter, since a dirty air filter will compromise fuel economy.

Why must drivers shut off their engine before pumping gas?

Drivers must shut their engine off before pumping gas because it's illegal to fuel with the engine running, even though this law isn't always aggressively enforced. Pumping gas with the engine running can compromise your safety. When your car's engine is running, it's possible for its catalytic converters to generate heat that could ignite gasoline, and start a fire.

Can cell phones ignite a gasoline vapor fire?

Even though many gas stations have warnings advising you not to use your cell phone while fueling, the chances of cell phones igniting a gasoline vapor fire are extremely remote. However, fires at the gas pump may be caused by static electricity discharge. For safe fueling, it's recommended that you turn off your car's engine and avoid smoking at the pump. Also, you should never re-enter your vehicle while refueling.

Why are gas prices not uniform, even across same-brand stations?

Many factors contribute to the lack of uniformity in gas prices. Retailers consider their tax responsibilities when setting gas prices. States place varying taxes on gasoline retailers, and a state with higher taxes will have higher gas prices than a state in which the taxes are lower. Also, if a gas station is located in an especially competitive area, a branded operator may receive wholesale discounts that allow the station to sell gas at a lower price. This is done by brands to keep their gas competitive in tight markets.

Is there a difference between brands of gasoline?

There are minor differences between brands of gasoline. Fuel stations get their gas from refineries. Once the stations receive the gas, many enhance the gas with additives that are designed to improve cleaning and performance. The additives used vary from brand to brand, and higher-priced gas has more additives than gas sold at off-brand gas stations. While additive-enhanced gas may offer marginal benefits, using cheaper gas with fewer additives won't harm your engine.

Why are cash prices lower at gas stations?

Cash prices are lower at gas stations because they don't include the bank fees that are charged to gas stations when credit cards or debit cards are used. With credit cards, these fees typically average about 2 percent of the transaction cost. Some states prohibit gas stations from passing these fees on to consumers via surcharges, but it is perfectly legal for gas stations to offer discounts to those who are paying with cash.

What is the difference between diesel fuel and gasoline?

Both diesel fuel and gasoline are manufactured from crude oil, but gasoline is lighter and less dense than diesel. Relative to diesel, gasoline also tends to be more volatile and more flammable. Since diesel is denser, it provides more energy per gallon, and this is one factor behind the high mileage offered by many diesel-powered vehicles.

Is it worth paying the extra money for higher octane gasoline?

It is worth paying the extra money for higher octane gasoline in some cases. If higher octane gasoline is required for use by the vehicle's manufacturer, it's recommended that you follow this guideline. Using low octane gas in a vehicle that is meant to use fuel of a higher octane, will have a negative effect on the vehicle's performance and fuel economy. However, gas with a higher octane rating than a car's manufacturer requires, will offer little or no benefit under normal driving conditions.

Which octane gasoline is right for my car?

Different cars have different requirements when it comes to gasoline octane, and you should use the octane rating that is required by your vehicle's manufacturer. A fuel's octane rating is a measure of how well it resists knocking and pinging during the combustion process. Most cars use 87 octane, but some cars are built to use higher octane gas.

McDonalds (Peeler Rd) is the sorriest one yet, Bad food, nasty in general and when we told employees the tables were not sanitary they did NOTHING!! It was an awful experience!! opened McDonalds, NEVER again!! , even the kids ages 7 and 4 wouldn't eat their food, they said its nasty, so we wasted not only our money but precious time with our grandchildren. My entire family and I have been a customer of yours for 20 plus years and in ALL those years I have NEVER made a complaint, But I have to now.I decided to take my grandchildren to the new one on Peeler Rd in Salisbury NC (it's inside a LUV truck stop) because we wanted to try one that was finally close to our home. So Disappointed!! First of all there had to be at least 5 or maybe more employees there,(who cared more about their cell phones and friends than they did YOUR customers) the place was disgusting, the tables were nasty the floor was sticky, Food was horrible!! We asked for HOT FRESH fries (my favorite), they refried old ones. There were 2 employees standing in the dining room where we were seated (after I cleaned our table), I told them that we had children eating there and the tables were very dirty and sticky, NOTHING was done. Because I politely suggested that it was unsanitary they just got rude. I took PHOTOS of everything. When could not even eat our food, not only was the fries terrible, one of the kids gogurt was busted in her bag, of course I wasn't going to complain again, by this time it was pointless. The employees saw me snapping pictures and they thought it was entertaining, they still did NOTHING!! We threw our food away, I have my receipt also almost $26 in the garbage, I don't have money to waste like that. All I know is the managers name was Rachel, and no one wanted to talk to me, this is why I am writing you. Please contact me, I would love to send you the photos I have. I believe my family and I should get a refund & an apology! They REALLY need good management! I hope this changes fast or I hate to say business will not be return customers. We were treated like it was a HUGE burden for then to wait on us. The only good thing I can honestly say about this location is that the sweet tea was good. That was a very expensive cup of tea!! Again, I would be happy to post photos that I took.They may be lovin it, but my family is not!!
